This week, we are checking out the FirstSpear Deceptor. Designed to conceal Rifle Velocity Protective Plates it will discretely hold a pair of plates and, if desired, two 6”X6” Rifle Side Plates. Additionally, pockets from the Ragnar Series can be quickly attached to the front or the back of the carrier as well.
It’s optimized for plates in the 2.2 to 4.5 pound size medium weight range which are .75” or thinner. For larger, thicker or heavier plates, FS recommends you consider a different carrying solution. This carrier comes with stretch and non-stretch shoulder straps to accommodate user comfort preference.
The Deceptor is becoming quite popular at the Federal level and has basically split down the middle on users who prefer Stretch vs. Static Shoulder Straps. FS speculates that a lot of that preference is shaped by the plate used and whether or not there is an external load (Ragnar Pockets) being utilized on the Carrier.
FS has a range of soft armor inserts cut in plate shapes as well as their UC Special Threat Plate that will fit the Deceptor. The soft armor cummerbund of the popular NOC will fit onto this carrier as well.
Available in Black or Coyote, sizes Small through XLarge.

Huge fan of FS, but is it just me or does the product in the demo vid not actually have plates in it?
Caleb, your absolutely right. It is a marketing sample with with a foam plate insert we use at shows. The thickness and shape is identical to our special threat plates but a lot lighter. We will develop another video with the actual plates and more movement soon.
Thanks! It looks like a great piece of kit.
This and the the First On look to be spectacular, as does the THUG,etc etc. It is great to see a company providing options that can be directly rolled in LE use, instead of the officer almost having to “modify down” another product.
